not about the election. the election is over. it's about spending cuts, really what 2010 was about. i think that's where the negotiations go in the next couple of days. >> you think about the polling and how this polls and issues david was talking about and common ground and who gets blame going over the fiscal cliff, how do you see it? >> i think that's the wrong question to ask. we're not in a political season. we either need the country to function or we don't. >> we will be. in 12 months from now, we'll be right back it an again. whatever happens over the next three weeks will be part of some campaign 12 months from now. >> i would rather worry about principle than politics and the republican party has very few principles left. one not to raise tax and the other extract serious spending cuts. you have a bunch of democrats we lost the whole point, you have the democratic party for 10 years, they have been willing to go for tax cuts and they voted for that. >> that's factually wrong. in any time you have an individual -- they didn't vote for tax cuts under bush and your president

belarus held parliamentary elections on september 23, 2012, unsurprisingly the elections failed to meet international standards and were widely condemned as not free or fair. while some democratic opposition parties boycotted the elections, the candidates who did attempt to run were denied registration authority and given unfair access to media authorities. no opposition figures were elected to the 110-seat legislature. 74.3% turnout, though they say it was closer to 30% of eligible voters. it is in the worst financial crisis which has put the government under increasing pressure. they made some controversial economic decisions that has been met with criticism. that includes signing a presidential decree by making it illegal for those in the wood processing industry to quit their jobs and would shift their exporting business to russian ports. this will only strain the relationship between belarus and its democrat neighbors and increase russia's stronghold on belarus in markets. belarus depends on russia for nearly all its energy supplies. the united states and european union must remain
